We wish Captain Sloan only the best. We have no vested interest (other than being citizens of Pender County), but we hope that Mark and everyone else can move forward and not dwell on sordid details. We've been married 28+ years (man and wife) and believe that God is more concerned about the myriad ways we find to hate other rather than how we express our sexual orientation. That said, Mark should not have broken the law. He is held to a higher standard as a law enforcement officer and should (and could) have made better choices. Best wishes to you, Captain Sloan. You are a beloved child of God and probably can't even imagine the path that God will anoint for you.
